The Antares Bain Capital Complete Financing Solution (ABCS), a joint venture between Antares Capital LP and Bain Capital Credit, LP, announced that it closed four unitranche transactions in July with new and existing borrowers totaling $794 million in credit facilities.

Launched in December 2017, ABCS brings together Antares’ leadership position and expertise in supporting the financing needs of middle market private equity sponsors and borrowers with Bain Capital’s 20-year track record of investing in middle market private debt. ABCS provides private equity sponsors and borrowers with access to first lien unitranche loans of up to $350 million in a single transaction. Without the requirement of agency meetings or a syndication process, ABCS delivers capital with speed and certainty.

Select ABCS unitranche transactions closed in July include:

Abracon /The Riverside Company

Antares and Bain Capital Credit, together with the ABCS program, served as joint lead arrangers on a $139 million senior secured credit facility to support the acquisition of Abracon by The Riverside Company.
